TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — With Tim Tebow likely on his way out of Denver, Broncos fans might be looking for a new fad to sweep the town. Here’s one they can consider…

Two weeks ago, “Giorgis-ing” started sweeping the Marist College women’s basketball team and the Town of Poughkeepsie campus, and now it’s even reached the Florida Panhandle! It all started toward the end of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament title game, when a photographer from the Associated Press snapped this picture of head coach Brian Giorgis, celebrating the victory that propelled the Red Foxes into their seventh straight NCAA tournament, and their eighth in nine years.

The photo hit the AP wire, and a phenomenon was born!

Since then, the fad of “Giorgis-ing” — it’s a wordplay based on the trend of “Tebow-ing,” where fans and athletes imitate Tebow’s post-touchdown celebration — and it’s made its way to the campus of Florida State University, where the Red Foxes have opened this year’s Big Dance.

Last night, for example, a plethora of Marist fans, including former Red Foxes star Erica Allenspach (seen here), and even random FSU students who probably have no idea where Marist is, took to the streets around campus, striking their best “Giorgis-ing” pose and posting them online. (Yup … that’s the 2011 MAAC Player of the Year right there!) Alternatively, there’s another name for the pose, “G-bowing,” which rhymes with “Tebowing,” but it looks like “Giorgis-ing” — both the pose and the moniker — is sticking. Seeing the kind of school spirit the FSU students have down here, not to mention the power of the Internet and social media, it looks like the “Giorgis-ing” trend is only in its infancy, and will likely continue to grow, particularly if the Red Foxes advance in the Big Dance with a win tonight.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —If you’re passionate about the Red Foxes and their NCAA tournament run, share your thoughts with the world!

From players and school officials to alumni and fans, seemingly everyone around the Marist College women’s basketball team has been using the #MaristNCAA hashtag over the past week when tweeting about the first-round matchup here between the Red Foxes and the Georgia Bulldogs. Got a thought about the showdown before the game? Use #MaristNCAA and shared it with everyone. Think a ref blew a call? Think the Red Foxes might need to change something on the court during the game? Again, use #MaristNCAA and let your voice be heard!
